| I Timothy 2: (ASV) |
| 1) I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; |
| 2) for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. |
| 3) This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; |
| 4) who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. |
| 5) For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, |
| 6) who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times; |
| 7) whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. |
| 8) I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. |
| 9) In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; |
| 10) but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works. |
| 11) Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. |
| 12) But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. |
| 13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve; |
| 14) and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: |
| 15) but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety. |
